– JI demands ban on MQM instead
Strongly reacting to the demand of the MQM move in the Sindh Assembly calling for a ban on the Jamaat e Islami, JI spokesman said on Monday that instead, a ban should be imposed on the MQM, a terrorist organisation working in the garb of a political party.
The spokesman said that the MQM emerged on the scene in 1978, as an ethnic organisation called ‘Mohajir Qaumi Movement’ and reorganised itself as Mutahidda Qaumi Movement in 1997. For the last two decades, the MQM had been involved in bloodshed, target killings and extortion in the port city. During all this time, the MQM had been a part of the government and had been blackmailing the ruling parties.
The JI spokesman pointed out that the Joint Investigation team report presented to the Supreme Court in the Karachi Law and Order case, had the evidence of the MQM’s involvement in terrorist activities and its working for the RAW. The MQM’s terrorist Ajmal Parahi had admitted having got training of terrorism in India and the MQM was unable to prove these allegations as false, and its designs against the state became public and the Supreme Court, in its judgment, had recorded that the charges against the MQM should be taken as correct. Even at international level, he said, the MQM was a declared terrorist organization because in 2006, a Canadian court had pronounced it a terrorist organisation.
The spokesman called upon the federal interior minister to make the Joint Investigation teams report public, so that the truth come to lime light.
